How it works

Every N minutes (20, 60, …) runs script that:

Get list photos by #hashtag (up to 100 items) [just if Contest upload dates are currently active, else contest will be skipped]

Process each photo (download new photos to WordPress media library + add to contest and sync likes count for exists, if this option enabled)

Why numers are about? Because Intagram can return a slightly different count per request (usually about 180-190).

Note: if enabled Sync likes count, then plugin will run as above and after get all not processed photos for sync Likes for them. In case too many total photos in feed (> 1000), there was a change that your server IP will be temporary blocked.
